All I've heard since the final whistle, is the moaning from the scousers.
Eto'o tackle was a yellow at most.
Yes you should have had a penalty.
But so should we.
Just because Neville calls it fine first of all, then doesn't want to make himself look silly by contradicting himself.
It was a foul. Simple. Lucas steps into Hazards right leg. No contact with the ball. Just because Hazard didn't swan dive like sloth from the goo nies. And all the ex pros are swooning around the scouse like somebody's been shot.
I've seen the outcry on their board. Have the forgot last year!? Unreal. At least these last couple of games have put a few people back in their place.
What aload of bull sheet....

"he saw for himself that it wasn't a figment of anyone's imagination as he seemed to believe earlier"
They probably were the incident you described was nothing like the one you picked out you probably just looked up the times of fouls on the bbc report and acted as if it was contentious
"His views were found to be incorrect"
Were they? Who found them incorrect then?

Are you now denying the very video evidence you provided? I am quite sure I maintained the general description of the incident prior to the video. I haven't even seen the match report. There is very little evidence to suggest that Agger forced Oscar to cause him to fall the way he did, it more points to him looking for the freekick, as I maintained from the get go, something you insinuated didn't happen at all.
As for your second point. The video + my recollection of the incident.

Ah Dennis Dennis Dennis this is too easy, I am now bored of this so I will spell it out for you as you seem to be struggling with this whole concept. Oscar was pushed in the back, he may have went down easy, but there was contact and a push there for it is not as you were trying to label it and even the pundits at the time said there was contact and he went down. This is NOT a dive. When compared with say today's game, in which your team lost, and danny welbeck who skipped pass 2 players before theatrically throwing him self to the ground in the penalty area with no contact what so ever, this is a dive......see the difference, contact..no contact. Pretty simple concept when you think about it

I don't really care what your view is I just asked you to point out where the incident was so I could make my own opinion

It is no wonder that you think it was 'too easy' as you somehow managed to misrepresent my point entirely. I do not think I ever accused him of diving, I believe the terms I used were tumble, throwing himself to the floor, simulation. My point throughout was how he fell was disproportionate to the L'pool's player force. It seemed that he went looking for it (see my post above for the latest reiteration of my point).
What you must also realize is that because you may think that diving refers to going down without contact and 'going down easily' refers to a player exaggerating contact, it doesn't mean you are correct in that assertion, a quick use of the dictionary you're so fond of tells me that diving is more linked to exaggeration than whether there was contact or not, something that you readily admit may have been the case.

Yeah look this is the most pointless waste of time argument ever perhaps you should stop with the walls of texts

I mean it wasn't even a big incident in the first place so I'm not sure why it's still escalating beyond seeing what the "incident" was in the first place

My point was never it was a major incident, as a matter of fact, I am sure I alluded to it being a minor one hence the lack of coverage. However you insisted that you be shown the incident and I obliged, so your fears of incidents being made up on a whim were allayed.
